I rather like Cyrillic. It is only letters that differ in minor details like Ш and Щ that I find difficult to distinguish (depending on how bad someone's handwriting is, of course.). Armenian is definitely Tengwaritis-inducing, though. Georgian, not so much; I think it is one of the nicest looking natscripts around. As for Japanese, Korean, and Chinese scripts these are somewhat of a different issue since each logogram represents a syllable rather than a phoneme (Hangul is a bit of a mix here, mind you, since it's actually a featural alphabet).

Given that I'm writing with a calligraphy pen and you're using ballpoint? Not really, no. I wrote my characters to be as similar as I could get to the ones on the Scythian page. Unfortunately, I got the spacing messed up, so all my letters are perhaps a little too close together. The font looks quite a bit more angular than I first thought, looking at this new picture; I'm not exactly good at writing those.

Well, the digital font shows letter forms better, line weight and line bending. The written example I gave is a very fast writing. However there is certain freedom in metrics, letters can be wider/narrower and small details can be easily omitted when writing by hand.When I do it myself and concentrate on letter form too much, then overall look is really bad - different letter sizes, slope lines. So I just try to write faster, it helps.I'll make more examples end of this week. Probably some some poem in English?

Hi, thanks.The very first versions of script were an attempt to create letter forms which would correspond to Scythian ancient art - simple but with the unique style. Mostly I experimented with greek letters. Later on it was no more an artistic work - when I started to understand how the readability depends on letter forms it became what you see now.

Hi, here is an english text written in Scythian. I use letter to letter transliteration, only letter y I changed to letter i. And now there are some swapped letter assignments: y <-> h, r <-> g.Can someone read it? I guess most english speaking people know this text very well.
